Ingredients
  

  • 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breast Cut into thin strips.
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium red bell pepper Sliced into strips.
  • 200 g broccoli florets About 2 cups.
  • 1 large carrot Peeled and sliced thinly.
  • 100 g snow peas About 1 cup.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch Mixed with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry.
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger Grated.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 stalks spring onions Sliced, for garnish.

Equipment

  • 1 large wok or nonstick skillet
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Prepare all vegetables and slice the chicken as directed. Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips, season with black pepper, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the wok. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the vegetables (red bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, snow peas) and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still vibrant in color.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  6. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced spring onions.
  8. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a dash of sesame oil or sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
You can substitute or add vegetables like baby corn, mushrooms, or zucchini.
For a spicy kick, add a sliced chili or a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger.
